You will always find some "experts" that will try to prove you wrong... Nice job on the fuselage Sir !! Adjustment are looking quite good !! Sincerely. CC Thanks CC, Don't get me wrong the lengths that some of the folks, such as your good self, Chris, Roger, Mark and Martian, on here go to and the results that they produce is truly awe inspiring. It does make me want to improve my skills and I do try to do something extra with each build but when I'm happy with a kit I'm happy. As has been said on more than one occasion on it's your kit you build it how you want and if that bothers someone, well, tough it's only plastic. Anyway enough of my ramblings, The wings have been glued together but I've left the inserts out as they'll be easier to deal with separately. A lesson I learned from my Buccaneer build. I'll make a start on the nacelle/wheel wells tomorrow. Cheers, Alistair 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 The Nacelles/Wheel Wells got a bit of attention this morning. Primed and then sprayed with Flat Aluminium. The wing pieces were glued together. And the canopies masked I'll get some details painted on the Nacelles later and get them glued together. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oil dot thing I saw on some armour builds and thought I can try that and see if it works. I can't take any credit for it as usual I nicked it from someone else.

AliGauld Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've been doing a little after work this week and got to the stage of gluing bits together. Once that was done the seams were dealt with, I hope. and the canopy stuck on. I'll try to get some primer on tonight if I get time. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Primer has been applied. It's all looking pretty good in the seam areas. Next I'll do the little rescribing that needs to be done and then on with the Sky S Type Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Alistair, This is looking lovely - once again you may have caused a budget to be blown out! I am more and more convinced as I see this build progress, Cheers, Roger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I know I said that there would be sky S Type today but I thought it might be a bit more sensible to get these on and blended in. Things should get a bit more colourful tomorrow. Apologies. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 As you may have noticed from the like-spam, I just caught up with this splendid build Alistair.

Chris Thanks Chris, I'm not even certain how much I'll get up to today as the boy wants a trip into Europa Records in Stirling and we've got the pictures tonight. I'll see what I can do. Might just nip into the garage and get the sky down now. Cheers, Alistair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 I got some Sky laid down yesterday. And this morning have started on the masking. I have absolutely no idea why I sprayed Sky over the top of the Port wing but it is not an issue. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 I have been flinging EDSG at plastic and most of it hit the right places. I then added a couple of drops of Ocean Grey to the paint and tried some lightening. So unlike The Lone ranger this will be unmasked later on once everything is dry.

They sprayed beautifully, the TSS colours looked bang on and gave a lovely even (decallable?) Sheen. I'll definitely be trying out on my next builds. Having stocked up entirely on tamiya, am starting to think satin paints are they way to go since for aircraft, I'll basically always want to be putting down a functional gloss cote at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
